When Shri Nem kunwarji entered Shri Krishna Vasudev's aayudh shala....he saw a few of Vasudev's weapons wich nobody can touch or lift...lord gently lifted all and started using them just for fun.... When Krishna Vasudev heard of whooping of panchajanya shankha by someone else....he rushed to that place and found Nem kunwarji....he was completely shocked and thought of testing his power...he then challenged him for friendly fight to test the real power.... It was first Nem kunwarji's turn...he effortlessly lifted Krishna Vasudev with his bare hand....but when Krishna Vasudev's turn came....he couldn't even move his finger... Because tirthankar has much more power than Vasudev!!
